They had stayed at the park for a few hours and went back to Olivia and Noah's apartment for dinner. She started cooking for them while Noah showed Elliot his room. They were sitting on his bed, and he was telling Elliot all about the Natural History Museum.
"It's soooo huge. Me and Lucy couldn't get to everything, so she promised we would go back sometime." Noah said.
"Really? Wow that's nice that Lucy took you." Elliot said.
Noah got quiet for a second and looked up at Elliot. "I think I've seen you before." he said.
"Yea, I met your Mom when you guys were sledding. She was giving me some stuff for work." El said.
"Yea, I also saw you when my Mom dropped me off at school too." he said and just left that comment at that.
This kid was smart Elliot thought. Not much gets by him. Even though he wasn't Olivia's biological son, he could see a lot of her in him. He was thoughtful, and passionate about things he cared about. He had a good heart and a sweet disposition. He knew Olivia was worried about how he was going to turn out knowing who his birth parents were, but Elliot knew Noah was going to be a good person. Olivia loves him so much, and will always do the right thing by him, there's no way Noah's future wasn't bright.
"Hey, how about we go see if your Mom needs any help?" Elliot said getting up.
"Sure…" Noah said, and then paused before he got up. He looked at Elliot, a question in his eyes.
"Are you and my Mom boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Elliot swallowed hard, and smiled, trying to figure out what the best path was for his answer.
"What makes you think that?" Elliot questioned.
"I saw you two kiss at the park. And she seems really… happy."
Wow, Elliot thought. This kid was quite an observer. He could tell Olivia and Noah had a strong bond, and he was already starting to look out for her. Elliot struggled for a minute trying to say the right thing, not really knowing how much he should say. Noah sat, waiting patiently.
"I've known your Mom for twenty-two years. We use to be partners at work…" he paused a second, determining what to say next and then decided to just go with it.
"I love your Mom." he said keeping it truthful. He wanted to start off on the right foot with Noah. Let him know that he could come to him if he needed to talk… about anything.
"Good…" Noah said, and seemed pleased with this conversation.
"I really like you, Elliot." Noah said very matter of fact.
Elliot's heart swelled in his chest, and he let out a sigh of relief. "I really like you too Noah." El said.
Then Noah got up, gave El a hug and said, "Let's go see what's for dinner."
Jesus. He couldn't believe how effortless this was. How on earth did he ever get this lucky. He truly felt like he didn't deserve any of this, and yet here he was. His life had been ripped to shreds, and now Olivia and Noah had made him whole again.
He followed Noah out to the kitchen and Noah said, "Your boyfriend is really cool Mom…"
Olivia whipped around. "My what?" she said as her eyes widened and she looked at Noah and then at Elliot, who was trying his hardest not to laugh.
Noah kept walking over to the entertainment center and started looking through some of his board games.
Elliot made his way over to Olivia who had a look of panic on her face.
"He asked me if I was your boyfriend…" Elliot said, a big grin on his face. Olivia's face didn't look as happy. He snaked his arms around her and pulled her closer to him and he felt her relax a bit.
"I asked him why he thought that, and he said he saw us kiss at the park… he said you looked happy." El said. He could see her fear start to dissolve.
"What did you say?" she asked, looking over to Noah, who was still digging through his things.
"Well, I didn't want to lie to him. I want our relationship to start off right. I told him I've known you for twenty-two years and we use to be partners…" he trailed off.
"And I told him I loved you." he said, not sure how she would react to that.
Olivia tightened her grip on him. "What did Noah say?" she asked.
"He said good…" Elliot laughed. "Then he told me he really liked me." he said, a full Stabler grin across his face.
Olivia let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and smiled back at Elliot.
"So…" she said, her eyes sparkling. "Are you… my boyfriend?" Her lips couldn't stop the smile starting to spread across her face. She felt a little nervous asking him this out loud, and it felt weird to say, but a wonderful weird. He let out a quiet laugh, pulling her closer.
"…I wanna be… I hope so…" he said in almost a whisper. It shook him to say that out loud for the first time.
Olivia's face relaxed and she looked deep into him, a sudden seriousness in her eyes.
"I think you're more than that to me… I know you don't believe in soulmates…" she said hesitating before she spoke again, "But I think you're mine."
The word "mine" was ringing in his ears. And he was hers. Hearing her say that really did something to him. They always had this silent communication and a lot… a LOT was exchanged, but never spoken out loud. Everything they had experienced in these two days together was more than he could have ever imagined.
Being with her physically and reconnecting their bond on levels they never had before was like linking puzzle pieces together. Pieces he didn't even know were missing. Pieces of his life where he tried to shove other pieces that didn't quite fit. Things just seemed to be in place now. He had told her many years ago in the beginning of their partnership that he didn't buy into soulmates, but now… she had proven it was a real thing. Partners… soulmates… they were one in the same for him now. Olivia Benson is his soulmate… she had always been.
"I believe in them now… you are my soulmate Liv… everything just feels right with you. Like it's where I belong. Where I've always belonged. My soulmate… my partner for life…" he said, and he felt the tears welling.
"For better or worse…" she said repeating words he once said to her a very long time ago. Her eyes also started to water. It was like they were almost reciting vows to each other.
She kissed him, not worried about Noah seeing them anymore. Elliot's hands lowered from her waist and slipped into the back pockets of her jeans as his tongue slipped into her mouth.
"Ewwwww…." Noah said, with a disgusted look on his face. "Is that all you guys are gonna do now?" Elliot and Olivia broke apart and laughed at him.
"Hey…" Noah said, looking at something that caught his attention, and he made his way into the kitchen. "What happened to my pictures, and all the magnets?"
Elliot and Olivia looked at the fridge, seeing the magnets all over the floor and Noah's pictures hanging funny directions. Elliot shot Liv a look that sent heat throughout her body, his eyes reflecting the memory of how the magnets came to be disheveled. She blushed and felt a sharp pang of arousal.
"Well, your Mom had an accident earlier… she slipped and was going to fall, but I caught her. Here, let's put them back on the fridge." Elliot said, shooting a wink at Liv. Noah and Elliot fixed the magnets and his pictures, and then Elliot asked if Noah would like to set the table with him.
They sat and ate dinner, laughing and talking just like a little family. After dinner, Elliot offered to clean up while Olivia and Noah set up a board game to play.
At around seven thirty, they all made their way to the couch to watch a movie together. Olivia went to go change into something a little more comfortable and when she came back out in a t-shirt and shorts, Noah and Elliot were both asleep on the couch, Noah tucked under Elliot's arm. She felt like her heart could burst. She felt so many things in that moment looking at her son and Elliot. Love, happiness, contentment, and most of all peace. Her heart was full, and her mind was at peace.
She walked over to the couch quietly, and carefully picked Noah up. He woke up slightly clinging to her as she carried him to his bedroom.
"Mom… is the movie over?" he said, his voice thick with sleep.
"Yes, my love… it's time for bed." She said.
"Ok Momma…" he said and started to fall back into his slumber.
She tucked him in bed, gave him a kiss on his cheek and made her way out into the living room. Elliot was still asleep where she left him. She grabbed her phone and tucked herself into the spot Noah had been.
She looked through the photos she had taken, and the ones El sent to her. They were a beautiful reminder of this past weekend. She decided to make the one of her and El her background, and the one of her and Noah her lock screen. Now every time she looked at her phone she would be reminded. Reminded of their first date… their first time… the first time El and Noah spent together, and the first time she knew her life was exactly as it should be.
Elliot shifted, pulling her into him and opened his eyes looking at her.
"Is the movie over?" he asked shifting looking around for Noah. Olivia laughed at how both Noah and Elliot's reactions were the same.
"We never started it… I came back out and you and Noah were both fast asleep." Her hand wen to his jaw, smoothing over his slight five o'clock shadow.
"Sorry…" he said sheepishly. "But you know, someone has been wearing me out…" he said, smiling at her, a little spark in his eyes.
"I warned you… neither of us will be getting a whole lot of sleep if I have my way…" she said trailed her eyes down to his lips. He kissed her softly, his hands pulling her into him a little tighter.
He pulled back and shifted a little, keeping her in his arms, but moving so they were sitting up a little more. She could feel a tug of uneasiness from him. She knew he was wondering what to do now.
"Stay…" she said, weaving her arms around him. "I know we both have to go back to work tomorrow but… I want you to stay here… with me."
His eyes melted into hers, and she felt all the uneasiness in him ebb.
"Ok…" he said softly smiling at her. He felt a little excited nervousness all of a sudden. She asked him to stay… she wanted him to stay… and it was their first night in her bed.
She took his hand and stood up, leading him into her bedroom. He closed the door behind them and wrapped his arms around her. Her room was dark, but the moon was shining in through her window, creating a beautiful silver and blue light over her. He stood there with her, looking into her eyes, taking her in as she did the same.
Her hands came to his face, and she lightly brushed her lips to his, and then slowly pulled his shirt off before pulling hers off as well. She undid his jeans, pulling them down along with his briefs and he pulled her shorts and underwear down letting them slip off her legs and to the floor.
He took a deep breath and let the relief of being with her, skin to skin wash over him. It scared him sometimes how much he loved her. She was his oxygen… he could never give her up… and the thought of losing her… he just… couldn't.
Her hands slowly made their way up his hips, around his waist and pulled him to her. His came up around her neck and jaw, pulling her to his lips. He kissed her, making his way into her mouth slowly and with purpose. His right hand came down from her neck, brushing over her breast causing her to take a sharp breath in before continuing down to her waist, wrapping around her. He pulled the covers of her bed back with his other hand and pulled them into her bed keeping his lips on hers.
He instinctively laid between her legs, putting his weight on his elbows. She pulled her knees up, placing the heels of her feet on the backs of his thighs. He broke their kiss looking into her eyes, telling her all the things he wanted to say without saying a word. She was starting to breath a little harder, and he could sense her need for him. He moved his hand down her face, to her breast, cupping her, his fingers pinching her nipple a little causing her to arch, and she moaned his name quietly.
He then moved his hand down in between them, sliding to her opening and coating his finger with her wetness. He let out a huff of air, his forehead dropping to her neck still astonished at how ready she always seemed to be for him. He circled her core with his thumb and slid two fingers inside her. She bit her bottom lip as she moaned, gripping his shoulders as he sent her spiraling.
His anticipation of pleasing her was overwhelming. He was setting her on fire and it was too much and not enough every single time. He invaded every one of her senses and she couldn't get enough.
"I need you…" she said in a high breathless whisper. She pulled his face to hers, as he removed his fingers from her and guided himself to her opening.
She stared into his soul as he entered her, never breaking their eye contact. This was something so intimate and earth shattering to them both, the moment they became one again, looking into each other, seeing and feeling their complete commitment to one another.
"I need you more…" Elliot said in a whisper as he took her lips and claimed them. He started to move slowly inside her, causing her body to ache, hitting her in all the right places. He intertwined his left fingers with her bringing their hands above her head hooking his right arm under her shoulder as she placed her other hand on the back of his head.
His pace was slow and deep and melting her mind and heart. Then he unexpectedly pulled out of her, and her protesting whimper made him smile. He turned her so her back was to him slipping his left hand under her pillow to cradle her head, finding her hand and intertwining his fingers with her again, and then lifting her right leg up as he entered her, causing a deep moan to escape both their lips.
She hooked her right leg behind him and his now free right hand made it's way up her body caressing her breasts and his lips found that spot under her earlobe. She trembled, biting her lip trying not to moan to loud. Her right hand went down to where they were joined needing to feel him as he thrust into her.
She felt him falter a bit at her hand on him as he slid inside her, his grip tightening on her breast. She never ceased to amaze him. He then trailed his hand down to her core and started rubbing her as he picked up his pace a little. This time she couldn't keep the moan from her lips. She was starting to see sparks and he could feel her getting close.
"Come for me beautiful…" Elliot rasped in her ear and she was falling. Her orgasm shot through her body and she took Elliot over the cliff with her as they both fell into a sweet oblivion.
